There are coincidences.....
As often on Parfumo, scent impressions are very, very subjective. And among the comments here, I could only get a rough idea of Ambar del Sur.

I quickly grabbed the thing in the souk, and what can I say? The perfumer must have drawn some serious inspiration.

When sprayed on, you can clearly smell a beautiful bergamot for a few moments, but then it gets a bit dirty on the skin.

Do you know that feeling when an amber on the skin initially becomes a bit musty, sweaty, stinky?

Ambar del Sur starts for me the first 45 minutes like a dirty Grand Soir. But then it softens! After a good hour, it transforms. Yes, and what can I say? You basically have 1:1 Amouage material on your skin.

Sandalwood, myrrh & cistus create the impression of elemi resin. Generally, the Carner is a touch!!!! less spicy than the Amouage & it lacks a good hint of high-quality vanilla.

Still, it's easily 95% similar. The Carner is less dense, has less volume, and runs out of steam faster than the Amouage.

Overall, that's completely fine, especially for someone like me who collects everything that is called "amber."

Like a Poem..
It was,
as a spicy mist enveloped me,
in my dream;
Completely open,
completely space.

I felt,
that something gently
laid itself on my skin.
A scent,
balsamic earthy,
poured out,
when I moved.

A hint,
soft - sweet nature,
traced a water jasmine trail.

There,
my feet touched the ground of myrrh,
the senses,
the sharpened,
were undeterred.

I ran ahead,
do not hold me back.
A veil,
of resin-vanilla,
covers my face.

Then awakening in the mist?
No, without,
yet holding in my hands,
a tonka bean..
..................
.........

Ambar del sur is truly a finely spicy, resinous-balsamic amber fragrance.
It also lasts quite a while on my skin.
It only becomes close to the skin after about 7 hours.

Vacation Dreams
I sit on the beach somewhere in Spain. In my hand, I hold a glass of very sweet and strong brown rum. I can already feel the alcohol slightly clouding my head after a few small sips. The day is coming to an end, and I can watch the sun slowly sink into the turquoise sea. With my bare feet, I play with the sand. Suddenly, a young attractive Spaniard stands in front of me. We chat, and despite my slight buzz, I manage to speak the language, which I have only recently started learning, almost perfectly. Am I dreaming? What’s wrong here? He asks me if I would like to ride with him on his jet ski into the sunset. I agree and follow him to the sea. I wrap my arms around his waist and rest my head on his back. He smells of sunscreen, combined with a fine woody men’s fragrance. I close my eyes, and we zoom into the sunset. But what’s happening now? My phone is ringing? Why do I suddenly have a phone? Well, so much for the dream, as I realize that it’s my alarm tone bringing me back to gray Germany. On the back of my hand, I can still perceive the scent of Ambar del Sur, which I sprayed on the night before for testing purposes.

Just kidding, I just made that up, but these images rush through my mind when I catch a whiff of this velvety Spaniard. Besides radiant amber, sandalwood, and a bit of patchouli, I detect a sweet note that reminds me of delicious brown rum. This is one that can truly open the door to vacation dreams. I see it more on men than on women, which could be due to its resemblance to Musc Ravageur by Malle and Chergui by SL, both of which I also classify as masculine. Those who like these should not go wrong with the sunny amber. I am liking the fragrances from Carner more and more, and I am sure there’s one among them with my name written in capital letters. A 9 for this vacation dream.

Many thanks to AdAstra72 for the sample. Now the vacation feels not so far away in my mind :)

Pungent pickled olives. Can’t say I don’t like it!

Smooth and perfectly unisex amber scent with a little honey like effect. Sweet, but not sugary. Mediocre performance.

Sweet, medicinal ambers. In the realm of Akkad, but sweeter & less loud. Sillage does not pop, very quiet for an amber scent.

Very prominent amber, hence the name, not overly sweet, warm and comforting in the drydown, but there's a sourness on my skin at first

Hello dear Ambar
you smell quite nice, but it's not new. And after an hour, only very sweet vanilla remains.
Complaining.

Pleasantly understated amber scent with a fine balsamic spice and moderate vanilla-tonka sweetness. Not innovative, but quite lovely.

I'm surprised at how beautiful and pleasant it smells here. Amber and sandalwood aren't usually my thing. Spicy and warm-fresh, even slightly...

I had no expectations and was pleasantly surprised! It starts spicy-woody with an oriental touch, becoming nicely sweeter in the dry down..
